Lost

General chat

Nearly two weeks ago my partner died suddenly. I woke about 4am and he was having a seizure. I had to commence with CPR until the ambulance got here. Two of them in fact. I will never forget that morning for the rest of my life. Today I went to visit him in the funeral home. I’d been warned that he may not look like him. He looked like he was asleep. I have never felt so alone in the world. We did everything together. Out on the fells was his favourite place. He was everything we were. My safety my person at the end of the phone. My biggest fan. I still feel like he will come walking through the door after being away for business. I don’t really have a point to this post but I guess words are what we turn to. Xx

Hi there Kellymet
My heart goes out to you as I well remember those first weeks and months. The day they leave us is a total nightmare whether it be sudden or a long term illness the shock is a tremendous blow. You have just started on your journey so there will be a lot to take in and there is little advice that anyone can give you as it is a lonely path we walk.
Those of us who lost our loved ones a year or so ago do find a way to get through it and although I won’t say time is a healer it does teach us how to cope and a sort of acceptance.
Keep with the forum as there are many who are suffering as you are and can be a comfort just to know you are not alone.

I am sorry for your loss.
Your post makes complete sense, that feeling of being lost. I still feel lost without my husband after so many years have gone by. I will always be lost until we meet again.
You have begun the hardest path there is, the one you walk alone, with an aching heart. Many of us are walking alongside, so though your loss is unique, you have fellow souls who understand.
